A gentleman brought this coin by for me to take a look at it. This one has fake written all over it. Nothing looks right about this coin. Anyway here's what I know. It is not magnetic, the weight is 25.94, diameter is correct, the coin was a little thicker and there was no visible die marker at the T in Liberty. I want the gentleman to hear it from the experts, which I am not.    |

One-look fake. To start, MM shape and tilt are dead wrong.

The toning around the lettering screams Chinese fake to me.

Definitely counterfeit. 1893-S only used one obverse die, and the date position of this coin is way off.

Looks like a cast fake. And a cleaned cast fake... Stay away from this one.

I agree with the upthread comments. China 1.0 counterfeit. The reeding will be another giveaway. It will have been applied after strike by a Castaing-type machine, and will look way off.
